Great interview, Lana. I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about Beth and this fantastic design project in DC. I love what they did with the rug - ingenious!

Wendy - I actually wondered if that was the same zebra rug moved around for the photos. In the photos on Beth's website, I saw only one.

Patricia - You're right, the home is a nice combination of feminine and masculine.

Great article! I noticed she used quite a few zebra rugs throughout the house - love that!

Mimi and Vicki - perhaps George would let us all collaborate!

So Haute - thank you! The Elle Decor article was actually written by the homeowner, Ali, and she has apparently been on a few shows talking about it. It's always nice to hear the designer's perspective and the behind-the-scenes story.

I loved this interview! It added such great additional context to the Elle Decor story and it was fun to hear about the project in Beth's own words. Great post!

Who wouldn't want to step into GC bedroom!! Great post and gorgeous work - loved all the questions and answers, xv.

Well, be sure to include me in the Clooney "love" nest. That's right, moi reclining on a lush rug in front of the roaring fire with a rapt George hovering nearby. The room would just not be complete without me. (George just doesn't know it yet). Ha! Seriously, I am intrigued as to how your guest designer would do a Clooney bedroom!!

Christian - you & probably half the designers in the world would like that project!

Little Augury - thanks for your feedback! I was actually afraid the post was too long (and that I had asked too many obnoxious questions) but her answers were so great I couldn't cut any (except for a couple of short comments).

Meg - I think she did a great job of giving an elegant old home a younger vibe, while keeping its character.

My Notting Hill - I didn't know her. Her pr person contacted me, and "introduced" us. One of those nice surprises email brings sometimes.

Tartanscot - thanks! It's interesting to look at the photos of this house on her website and compare them to Elle Decor's. You can see how differently the rooms are styled.

Great interview - love the ending! Did you know her or did you just email her to see if she would be interviewed? The house is terrific. Pigtown Design is right - so atypical of alot of DC homes.

That house looks like it's a lot more fun, decor-wise, than so many other DC houses.

what a wonderful posting- so in depth and enlightening,that is why we need great blogs and as always there are real reasons for what we see in the magazines- you asked the best questions and got thoughtful answers- a credit to you both. I am revisiting the article in elle with new and more appreciative eyes.thank you. G.
